The most important thing to remember when writing a cheque is that you should never leave any blank spaces in the text. Start writing from the far left edge of the box and avoid leaving space for additional numbers. After writing the amount in large letters or numbers, you can write a straight horizontal line. You should always put commas and periods between numbers and words. You should never include your own name or initials in the payee's name.
Check the payee's name: Make sure you write the name of the person you're paying. You don't need to use the same name as the recipient, as long as it's the same spelling. The payee can be an individual, company, school, charitable trust, or any other organization that needs cash. Don't write "cash" or any other kind of blank field. This makes it easy for fraudsters to use your name.
The dollar amount is written on the left-hand side of the check. The written amount is the amount you're paying. If the amount is less, you must write the amount in large letters, and the check should have a space on the right-hand side for the signature. The memo line is used for the owner's information, and the payee can ask for additional information. The memo line is usually the last line of a check, but some payees may require additional information on this line.
